Stay Calm With Sedation Options in Hillsborough, NC

It can be frustrating if your dental anxiety isn’t taken seriously. At Carolina Bright Smiles, we understand how real a fear of the dentist can be. So our Hillsborough, NC dentists offer sedation options to help you relax while in our patient chair. Sedation dentistry makes it possible to get the care you need to keep your smile in great condition.

Because every situation is different, we offer three kinds of safe dental sedation:

Inhaled Sedation – After a few deep breaths, inhaled sedation makes you feel light and happy. Your dentist will place a small mask over your nose for you to inhale the gas. This light sedation wears off quickly, so you’ll be able to drive yourself home if you’d like.

Oral Sedation – You’ll take a single dose of prescription medication before your visit, so you’ll arrive relaxed and stay that way. Oral sedation makes time pass quickly and softens memories of your treatment. You’ll likely be groggy after your procedure, so you will need a ride home.

IV Sedation – You’ll be in a deeply relaxed state after we intravenously administer medication. We can easily adjust the amount you receive during your procedure if you need more to stay relaxed.

In addition to sedation dentistry, our dentists are skilled in minimizing your discomfort, and our friendly team goes out of their way to make you feel at home. To schedule a stress-free appointment, call 919-296-0409.
